<title>Host System Requirements</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Your host system should have the following software with the minimum
|
|
versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most modern Linux
|
|
distributions. Also note that many distributions will place software headers
|
|
into separate packages, often in the form of <quote>[package-name]-devel</quote>
|
|
or <quote>[package-name]-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those as well, if
|
|
your distribution provides them.</para>

|
<para>The reason for the kernel version requirement is that thread-local
|
|
storage support in Binutils will not be built and the Native POSIX Threading
|
|
Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel isn't a 2.6
|
|
kernel and has not been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In order to determine whether the host kernel meets the requirements
|
|
outlined above, run the following command:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat /proc/version</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>This will produce output similar to:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><computeroutput>Linux version 2.6.2 (user@host) (gcc version 3.4.0) #1
|
|
Tue Apr 20 21:22:18 GMT 2004</computeroutput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the results of the above command do not state that the host kernel
|
|
is either 2.6.x, or that it was not compiled using a GCC-3.0 (or
|
|
later) compiler, one will need to be installed. There are two methods you
|
|
can take to solve this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6
|
|
kernel package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your vendor
|
|
doesn't offer a 2.6 kernel package, or you would prefer not to
|
|
install it, then you can compile a 2.6 kernel yourself. Instructions for
|
|
compiling the kernel and configuring the boot loader (assuming the host
|
|
uses GRUB) are located in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
